What happens when chlorine forms an ion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zmey [24]1 year ago
7 0

The chlorine usually forms a Chloride ion.

The Chlorine gains an electron leaving it 17 protons and 18 electrons. Since it has 1 more electron than protons, chlorine has a charge of −1, making it a negative ion. When ions form, atoms gain or lose electrons until their outer energy level is full.

What do you mean by Chlorine forming an ion?

Chlorine has one electron when it forms an ion to be an anion with a charge of -1. The charge of an ion, and thus the number of electrons the atom will gain or lose. If an atom has less than four valence electrons, it will lose them to become a cation.

The chloride ion is the anion  Cl− which is formed facilitating important chemical reactions coupled with its usage in the everyday world.

1. Most of the chemicals included in your General Chemistry Lab kit can be discarded down a drain. Describe a situation in which
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.

Explanation:

A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.

A student combines 364.6 g of HCl with 80 g of NaOH in 5 L of water. What additional volume of H2O must be added to this mixture
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

75L of additional water to have a pH 1 solution

Explanation:

The reaction of HCl With NaOH is:

HCl + NaOH → H₂O + NaCl

By using molar mass of each reactant you can know how many moles will react, thus:

HCl: 364.6g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 10 moles HCl

NaOH: 80g NaOH ₓ (1mol / 40g) = 2 moles NaOH

That means after the reaction will remain in solution, 10-2 = 8 moles of HCl = 8 moles of H⁺ (In water, HCl dissociates as H⁺ and Cl⁻ ions).

A solution with pH = 1 contains:

pH = -log [H⁺]

1 = -log [H⁺]

0.1M = [H⁺]

As molarity, M is the ratio between moles and liters and you want a solution 0.1M having 8 moles of H⁺ you require:

0.1M = 8 moles H⁺ / 80L

As the student combines the solution with 5L of water, you require
